Needless to say, Mobile apps have become a vital part of our day-to-day life as the dependence of humans on Smartphones has substantially grown. However, plenty of users are still unaware of their devices’ security. Safety can often become the false perception in case we do not have any idea of how our apps were developed as well as penetration testing.
The most beneficial way to avoid any security risk is to opt for Mobile Application VAPT that holds the power of providing us with a definite level of confidence when it comes to security maintenance. According to various studies, more than 80% of mobile application users have the belief that their mobile finance and health apps are perfectly secure. Preliminary aim of conducting the Mobile App penetration test is to recognize all exploitable vulnerabilities in the app or network that can potentially get exploited by the hackers.
Downloading and then using malicious apps can showcase the potential risk to both yourself as well as your company as the untested apps might contain security bugs which can make the data vulnerable. Mobile Application VAPT will uncover several ways and access points in which the malicious hacker can compromise the application or database for gaining unauthorized access to the confidential data.
Acting upon discovered vulnerabilities for gaining sensitive information or performing malicious activities.

In today’s world of consistently evolving technology, one can easily witness the dominance of mobile applications as this web app has created a diverse variety of attacks that were not important in the world of the classic web app.
In its most basic form, a Penetration test is considered as a method of assessing the computer system’s security by an attack’s simulation. Regarding the same, MAPT aims only on the evaluation of a mobile app’s security. Its procedure includes the application’s active analysis for any technical flaws, vulnerabilities, or weakness.
There is a reason why CyberNeoGen has been gaining immense popularity in the sector of Mobile Application VAPT as it always strives for absolute client satisfaction.
